REPEAT( time )
| REPEAT | Specifies the rate of event generation. |
| time | An integer constant containing the rate to set, in hundredths of a second. |
The REPEAT attribute (PROP:REPEAT) specifies rate of event generation for automatically repeating buttons. For a BUTTON control with the IMM attribute, this is the generation rate for EVENT:Accepted. For a SPIN control, this is the generation rate for EVENT:NewSelection generated by the spin buttons.
Assigning a zero (0) to PROP:REPEAT resets the default setting, any other value sets the repeat rate for the control.
Example:
MDIChild WINDOW('Child One'),AT(0,0,320,200),MDI,MAX,HVSCROLL
BUTTON('Press Me'),AT(10,10,40,20),USE(?PressMe),IMM,REPEAT(100) !1/second
SPIN(@n3),AT(60,10,40,10),USE(SpinVar),RANGE(0,999),REPEAT(100) !1/second
END
CODE
OPEN(MDIChild)
?PressMe{PROP:Delay} = 50 !Set delay to 1/2 second
?SpinVar{PROP:Delay} = 50 !Set delay to 1/2 second
?PressMe{PROP:Repeat} = 5 !Reset repeat to 5 hundredths of a second
?SpinVar{PROP:Repeat} = 5 !Reset repeat to 5 hundredths of a second
